RCMT1204M0-RM4 WMP20S turning insert – Tiger·tec Silver, Walter Tools

The RCMT1204M0-RM4 WMP20S is a round turning insert engineered for medium to robust machining of stainless steel with a 7° clearance for secure cutting edge engagement

• Tiger·tec Silver coating for longer tool life
• Optimised RM4 chipbreaker for stable chips
• Round form for versatile entering and profiling
• Suitable for stainless steel machining

Reliable cutting performance for stainless steel

The coated carbide grade from the Tiger·tec Silver family is formulated to handle the toughness and built-up-edge tendencies of stainless steel. The combination of a wear-resistant coating and a precision ground edge means that consistent cutting forces are maintained, which reduces the frequency of tool changes and supports predictable cycle times. The round insert geometry delivers secure engagement when profiling and entering, while the 7° clearance helps avoid rubbing and contributes to improved surface quality.

Improved productivity through stable chip control

The RM4 chipbreaker is designed to form short, controllable chips under the cutting conditions typical for austenitic and martensitic stainless steels. Stable chip formation decreases the risk of workpiece damage and simplifies chip evacuation in automated cells. With fewer interruptions for chip management, machining throughput is increased. The coated grade also enhances thermal resistance, so tool life is extended under the elevated temperatures encountered when machining corrosion-resistant alloys.

Versatility and machine compatibility for practical workshop use

Dimensioned as size 12 with thickness 04 and a round plate form, this insert is compatible with a broad range of clamping systems and toolholders suited to finishing and light to medium roughing operations. The grade WMP20S is tuned for reliable performance in the M material group; selection of the correct feed and speed is advised to exploit the coating benefits fully.
